A woman who confessed to suffocating her 5-month-old child with the family’s copy of the Koran is on trial in western Sweden, with her defense team arguing she had a psychotic breakdown, possibly due to postpartum depression.

“I didn’t want to kill him, I wanted to save him,” the 28-year-old woman said during a hearing on Tuesday at the Halmstad District Court, according to the Aftonbladet newspaper.
The incident occurred in late July, when the woman met her husband at his workplace, where she told him she wasn’t feeling well.
“I told her that we couldn’t speak there, and that we could discuss it at home,” the husband said in court, according to the Expressen paper.
“At the same time, I suggested she could read passages from the Koran for support, as we’re both Muslims.”
Gross.
It would seem that child killing in Islam is becoming prevalent:…..
